Senior Manufacturing Engineer - Advanced Semiconductor Systems

Introduction to the Job ASML’s Manufacturing Engineering team supports the production of highly complex optical, mechanical, electrical, and system-level assemblies used in advanced lithography systems. Role and Responsibilities As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will drive process development, optimization, and sustainment in a high‑tech manufacturing environment, ensuring stable, capable, and cost‑efficient processes from early design through volume production. This posting includes three positions, each supporting a specific manufacturing area: New Product Introduction (NPI) , Top‑Level System Integration , and Optics . Final assignment will be based on the candidate’s experience and alignment with business needs. Own and sustain manufacturing processes to ensure quality, yield, and throughput performance Lead process development and NPI activities, including manufacturing readiness, pilot builds, and transition to volume production Translate product and design requirements into robust manufacturing processes, documentation, and control plans Apply structured problem‑solving methods (SPC, DOE, FMEA, root cause analysis) to improve process capability and reduce variation Analyze manufacturing and test data (yield trends, paretos, Cpk) to identify improvement opportunities and drive corrective actions Troubleshoot complex issues across optical, electro‑mechanical, and system‑level builds and tests Partner cross‑functionally with Design, Quality, and Production to resolve issues and improve product robustness Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation (work instructions, standard work, control plans, BOMs) Execute change management activities (COs, TDNs) to ensure controlled process updates Identify and implement improvements to yield, cycle time, cost, and equipment performance using Lean principles Support equipment qualification, tooling improvements, and production readiness activities Provide hands‑on support on the production floor and in cleanroom environments Train and support technicians and production staff on processes and best practices Senior Manufacturing Engineer – New Product Introduction (NPI) Drive manufacturing readiness, pilot builds, and product launches Develop end‑to‑end manufacturing processes (flows, PFMEA, control plans) Partner with design teams to ensure manufacturability (DFM) Lead process validation activities (DOE, GR&R, MSA) Education and Experience (NPI) Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related Engineering field 5+ years of experience in NPI, process development, or product transfer Experience with DOE, FMEA, SPC, and validation methodologies Experience working with cross‑functional teams (Design, Supply Chain, Quality) Strong background in process documentation and change management Senior Manufacturing Engineer – Top‑Level Systems Own system‑level manufacturing processes for integration and final test Troubleshoot complex electro‑mechanical and system‑level issues Analyze system performance data and improve stability and throughput Support system build, qualification, and production ramp Education and Experience (Top‑Level Systems) Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or related Engineering field 5+ years of experience in system integration, complex assemblies, or manufacturing engineering Experience troubleshooting multi‑disciplinary systems (mechanical, electrical, software) Experience with test systems, system validation, and production builds Familiarity with high‑tech or semiconductor manufacturing environments Senior Manufacturing Engineer – Optics Own and improve optical assembly and alignment processes Troubleshoot optical system performance and test failures Support metrology tools and optical test systems Drive improvements in precision alignment, yield, and defect reduction Education and Experience (Optics) Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Optical, Electrical, or related Engineering field 5+ years of experience in optics, precision assemblies, or electro‑mechanical manufacturing Experience with optical alignment, metrology, or high‑precision systems preferred Experience with SPC, DOE, and process capability analysis Familiarity with cleanroom manufacturing environments Preferred Qualifications (across all roles) Experience in optics, laser systems, lithography, or precision electro‑mechanical assemblies Experience supporting NPI / product transfers into manufacturing Lean Six Sigma certification or equivalent training Experience with automated test systems and metrology tools Skills (across all roles) Strong analytical and data‑driven problem‑solving Ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues Hands‑on, detail‑oriented with strong ownership Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment Strong cross‑functional collaboration and communication skills Continuous improvement mindset focused on yield, cost, and stability Other Information (across all roles) Work is performed in a cleanroom and manufacturing environment Requires regular onsite presence and hands‑on production support May require occasional travel Compensation & Benefits Current base annual salary range: $102,375 – $153,563. Pay scales are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay is determined through interviews and an assessment of several factors including job‑related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, and other candidate attributes. Benefits include medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance; a 401(k) plan; eight (8) hours of vacation leave per month; and 13 paid holidays each year. For more information, contact the recruiter or consult the Compensation & Benefits portal (U.S.).
